If this is related to your Nexus authentication, 2.1 is an awesome release with regards to this. They introduced an API token authentication approach, so that you won't be handing over the keys to the castle if someone compromises your API token password.
We are using it with encryption as well, and are storing the master settings-security.xml in a secure location, pointing to it with a relocation tag in the HOME/.m2/settings-security.xml file. If you are already in linux, simply chmod go-rwx it. Also, use SSL as a connection, so that the password cannot be sniffed. Again, that might be overkill since it isn't a system account password. If this is for your SCM, you may want to consider git instead of svn. You can use an ssh key with that, and will allow you to connect without revealing a password.
